FINLAND study: Wokies more likely to be unhappy, describe selves as having bad mental health

Researchers at the INVEST Research Flagship Centre at the University of Turku, identified Woke beliefs as follows:
“If white people have on average a higher level of income than black people, it is because of racism.”
“University reading lists should include fewer white or European authors.”
“Microaggressions should be challenged often and actively.”
“Trans* women who compete with women in sports are not helping women’s rights.” (reverse scored) [ie. Wokies reject]
“We don’t need to talk more about the color of people’s skin.” (reverse scored) [ie. Wokies reject]
“A white person cannot understand how a black person feels equally well as another black person.”
“A member of a privileged group can adopt features or cultural elements of a less privileged group.” (reverse scored) [ie. Wokies reject]
Note how Woke beliefs are racist against BOTH Whites & Blacks.
Note how Woke beliefs devalue good stuff - eg. classic literature.
Note how Woke beliefs explain life as conspiracy: different results come from that conspiracy, not consequences of your own choices.
Anyway,
“The gender divide was probably most surprising to me,” Lahtinen told PsyPost of Finnish attitudes. “Three out of five women view ‘woke’ ideas positively, but only one out of seven men.”
This was especially true of women in fields such as social sciences, education, and humanities. By contrast, participants who worked in STEM were more likely to critique social justice efforts associated with being woke.
However, the most concerning finding was the relationship between mental health and agreement with the scale. Specifically, researchers found a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in people who believe the statement “If white people have on average a higher income than black people, it is because of racism.” More broadly, they found that those who identified as left-wing were most likely to report lower mental well-being.
"The studies were quite robust with sample size above 5,000 and good psychometric properties...
Only possible criticism is, it's just a beginning: Causation is not untangled.
Other studies have found that female, as such, also correlates to unhappiness & bad mental health. So that lib women are mentally worst off; lib men are nearly-but-not-quite as bad off; then conservative women are better off, and conservative men.
Hey pro-war, racist bigot @jaroonn - Thanks for this thread - I can continue to post TRUE info that exposes ugliness of Woke.
